A Rare Kind of Privacy - The long private drive does something remarkable in the urban tier: it makes the outside world disappear. Massive oak trees line the approach, and by the time you park, you'll wonder how something this quiet exists this close to downtown. Only you and the people you invite will ever find this place -- and that's exactly the point. Built to Feel Like Home - Step inside to an open yet defined floor plan anchored by site-finished hardwood floors, clean cabinetry, and simple, intentional selections throughout.
